Yeah, that's the first 545 spec I found. You have to re-wire or re-cable (with the correct kind of cable) to actually change the impedance. Those [high-impedance usages] were almost certainly intended for use with the old screw-on connector at the mixer end.From memory, the Shure 545's that had alternate impedances had a 4 pin Tuschel type connector and they enabled the selection of impedance. Mine had low on an XLR and high on a ¼"TS cables.I cannot remember if the XLR was balanced or unbalanced?
Even the later 545SD requires changing the internal wiring, as shown in the spec link I posted earlier.
OP never said he'd been changing wiring to go from low to high impedance, or which 545, so some guessing going on.
